parisc,

Just a quick flitting question that has been in
the back of my mind. When working with an A500
that I have, during a GSP powerdown using "PC", 
I get the following error:

************* SYSTEM ALERT **************
SYSTEM NAME: firin
DATE: 10/19/2002 TIME: 00:24:23

->Choice:

Is this bad for my hardware :} It was ever so 
nice when I was kernel hacking and I could remotely
control the box's power. However, after such an error
I'm told that:


  The system did not respond to the Power-On command.
  Turn the system power switch Off and On again to reset the system.

Which means I need to be there physically :(
Any help on the matter would be much appreciated.

c.
